Borrell: Gaza Siege Contradicts International Law

Josep Borrell, Head of Foreign Policy at the European Union, views the Israeli war minister's order to encircle Gaza as violating international law. At the end of an informal meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Muscat, the capital of Oman, Josep Borrell in a press conference on Tuesday (10/1/0/2023) said, "Tel Aviv's reaction must be in accordance with human rights law, but several decisions taken contrary to international law." "In today's meeting I emphasized the need to respect international human rights law. This means cutting off access to water, food and electricity for civilians in Gaza is an incorrect action," said Borrell. "Most of the European Union member states, except two or three members, have clearly said that financial support to the Palestinian Authority must continue and payments must not be stopped," he stressed.

Since last Saturday, Palestinian resistance forces have launched a comprehensive and unique operation called "Al-Aqsa storm" from Gaza against the positions of the Zionist regime in the occupied territory. The Zionist army, surprised by the Al-Aqsa Storm operation and unable to face the resistance forces, then surrounded and brutally bombarded Gaza city to compensate for its defeat. As a result of the bombing, according to an announcement by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, as of Tuesday, 770 people had died, 140 of whom were children and 105 of whom were women. The number of injured in Israeli air strikes on Gaza has exceeded 4,000 people. Meanwhile, the number of Zionists killed is more than 1000 people and the injured have exceeded 2,741 people.
